Description

The way absolute paths (those starting with a slash character), when passed to
get_dir2() are treated differs per ra backend. 

ra_local and ra_svn both treat a path that starts with a slash to mean a path
relative to the current ra context path. ra_dav treats it as a path relative to
the host.

Even if passing a path starting with a / to get_dir2() is forbidden, the
behaviour should be consistent across backends.
